Connect Facebook Pages to Telegram

Telegram is a quick, private place to hear what's happening and to say yes or no; your Facebook Page is where the public sees your work. Connecting them lets you approve posts, get ad reports and catch problems from your phone, without opening Facebook.

Build your own

Build any Facebook Pages and Telegram automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what should happen between Facebook Pages and Telegram in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.
  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Send me Facebook comments in Telegram only if AI thinks they are a question or complaint, and let me reply to the comment from Telegram.

When I send a voice note to my bot, transcribe it, write a Facebook post from it, and send me the draft to approve.

Use cases

Why people connect Facebook Pages and Telegram

How the two apps work together

  • A check every few minutes reads your Facebook Page for new posts, comments or insights, and messages to your Telegram bot arrive instantly through its webhook.
  • The script sends alerts or drafts to your Telegram chat or channel.
  • When you reply in Telegram with an approval or new text, the script posts it to your Facebook Page.
  • Page managers getting comment alerts

    New comments on the Facebook Page are sent to a Telegram chat. The manager can respond quickly from their phone.

  • Owners approving posts on the go

    Draft posts are sent to Telegram and published to the Page after a reply of "yes". Posting does not wait until they are at a desk.

  • Marketers tracking Page performance

    A daily Telegram message shows yesterday's reach and top post. Numbers arrive without opening Meta's tools.

  • Channels mirrored across networks

    Posts published to a Telegram channel are also posted to the Facebook Page. Followers on both see the same updates.

More apps

Facebook Pages, Telegram and other apps in one automation

An automation isn't limited to two apps. Add the next step in another app and it runs as part of the same automation.

Log approved posts

After I approve a draft in Telegram and it is posted to my Facebook Page, add the text, time and post link to my Google Sheet.

Post to Facebook and Instagram from Telegram

When I send a photo with a caption to my Telegram bot, post it to my Facebook Page and Instagram business account.

Daily ad spend in Telegram

Every morning, send me yesterday's Meta Ads spend and Page reach in Telegram, and warn me if spend is 30 percent above the daily average.

Setup

Connect Facebook Pages and Telegram once

Every idea on this page uses the same two connections, so you set them up once. If one is missing, your assistant tells you and links to the right place.

Facebook Pages

Social

  1. Easiest: in Business Settings, open Users, then System Users, add a system user and assign it your Page and your app.
  2. Generate a token for it with pages_show_list, pages_manage_posts and pages_read_engagement, and save it as a secret on Connections & secrets in the ClickRuntime dashboard.
  3. Or create your own Business app at developers.facebook.com, add Facebook Login for Business and set the redirect URI to https://clickruntime.com/oauth/callback.
  4. Request the same scopes, make sure your account can create content on the Page, then enter the app ID and secret under Connections in the ClickRuntime dashboard.

Telegram

Messaging

  1. In Telegram, open a chat with @BotFather and send /newbot.
  2. Choose a name and a username for your bot, then copy the token BotFather sends (it looks like 123456:ABC-...).
  3. Open your new bot and press Start, so it is allowed to message you. For groups or channels, add the bot and give it admin rights if it should post or delete.
  4. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, open Connections & secrets and save the bot token.

FAQ

Questions about connecting Facebook Pages and Telegram

Do I need a Telegram bot?
Yes. Create one with BotFather, save its token as a secret in your ClickRuntime dashboard, and start a chat with it so it can message you.
Can I approve posts from Telegram?
Yes. Several of these automations send drafts with Approve and Reject buttons, and only approved posts are published to your Page.
Does it need access to my ad account?
Only the ads automations do, and only to read results and balances. They can't change campaigns or spend.
Can a team share the bot?
Yes. Add the bot to a Telegram group and messages go to everyone in it.
Can it post photos sent to Telegram?
Yes. The script can download the photo from your bot chat and upload it to your Facebook Page with the caption.
Can it read private messages to my Page?
Reading Page messages needs Messenger permissions for your Page. Comments on posts only need the Page engagement permissions.
Will it post without my approval?
Only if you ask for that. You can make every post wait for a reply in Telegram first.
